Alden - Environmental Services
FromVerdantas
Alden’s engineers, scientists and biologists are the experts in the field of environmental impact mitigation at water resource projects. Our team has developed numerous fish protection systems for water intakes, as well as upstream and downstream fish passage facilities at dams and power plants. We are experts at resolving O&M problems associated with water resource projects, such as debris management, icing, siltation, and head loss. Alden’s solutions maximize the benefits while minimizing the costs of environmental compliance.
